For a sensuous experience:
The Epicurean delights of Québec Resorts

Montréal, Québec — Monday, November 13, 2006 — 'Tis the snowy season, and the province's leading network of country inns and resorts is showering you with an array of exquisite pleasures. This winter, Québec Resorts invites you to combine the aromas and flavors of Epicurean cuisine with a gourmet spa experience. When fine food meets fine form, the result is irresistibly sensuous!

Québec Resorts is synonymous with getting away, relaxation, cozy comfort and fine cuisine. With our 25 member establishments, it's more than just a stay, it’s an experience that stays with you. Like enjoying a glass of port while treating your skin to wine therapy. Ask and you shall receive. How about some old fashioned sugar shacking before a modern day maple sugar body wrap, exfoliation or gommage? That’s just for starters…

Auberge des Gallant - Sainte-Marthe/Rigaud (Montérégie)

Auberge des Gallant is home to some delightful gourmet spa packages: an impressive wine list combined with wine therapy ('Escape to Tuscany’ package), invigorating espresso coffee spa care for men, a taste of chocolate based skin treatments. Auberge des Gallant is all about providing an experience that is totally divine.

Auberge des 21 – La Baie (Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean)

Maple sugar reigns supreme at Auberge des 21. It is used to pamper your feet and hands, and of course, to savor in one of many sugar shacks dotting the region. Cocoa and soy are menu regulars, too. The body wraps are far from traditional, and the experience is nearly irresistible…

Hôtel Levesque – Rivière-du-Loup (Bas-Saint-Laurent)

At Hôtel Levesque, they go all the way: fine cuisine and the pleasures of the palate go hand in hand with skin and body care. More than a wrap, a luxuriously relaxing bath in chocolate or goat milk. The perfect appetizer to dinner and a puff pastry filled with pear 'wrapped’ in two types of chocolate and the legendary local honey from St-Paul de la Croix.

L’Estérel Resort and Convention Centre – L’Estérel (Laurentians)

Say hello to a different way to enjoy fruits and their health benefits: the l’Estérel way. After a vegetarian breakfast or as a prelude to a wine tasting, l’Estérel recommends a grape seed bath gel treatment. It is revitalizing, anti-aging, promotes antiradical activity and is excellent for your immune system. A great entrée for the appetizing quality and diversity of the inn’s fine cuisine, which is an experience worthy of the most discriminating connoisseurs.

Auberge Godefroy – Bécancour (Centre-du-Québec)

Auberge Godefroy and their ice cider therapeutic bath or anti-aging body wrap, now there’s a fine way to counter the effects of winter on our skin! At the table, ice cider is increasingly resurging as the escort of choice for refined dishes that include duck confit, deer medallion, duck tartare, leg of lamb and a host of other regional specialties.

Manoir des Érables – Montmagny (Chaudière-Appalaches)

A wine cellar that will make you blush, bountiful local products, a wide selection of cheeses and…  gourmet spa treatments at the Parfum d’Arômes Health Centre. Like a sommelier pairing the appropriate wine with the right dish, this inn’s gastronomic menu showcases Québec and its culinary treasures while promoting their positive effects on the body. Excellent food for thought!
